Fume Blanc was first used as a wine name by Napa Valley's Mondavi Winery in 1968. Mondavi had been offered a crop of particularly good Sauvignon Blanc grapes by a grower. At that time the variety had a poor reputation in California, but Mondavi recalled enjoying French Pouilly-Fume, a Sauvignon Blanc-based wine from France's Loire Valley. Also, "blanc fume" is the local name of a white fog from the river below that envelops the Loire. Looking for a "new label", Mondavi Americanized the name. Robert Mondavi oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc was released under the name Fume Blanc in 1968 and became an immediate success, and the name was later officially accepted as a synonym for Sauvignon Blanc. This was at least in part due to the fact that Mondavi deliberately did not trademark the name, instead encouraging other wineries to create their own versions. - Wikipedia 2007 This wine would appeal to the connoiseur who understands how rare this wine is in Australia. Bou-saada' s First Fruits Fume Blanc is grown, made and bottled in Mittagong and would be a wonderful gift genuinely representative of the Southern Highlands produce.
